Although, to be honest, if I were to go getting keychains... this would be the one to go with, since only the hat is truly wrecked in any way by pulling out/destroying the chain- and the hat is the one part that I think we all feel we have enough of.

In light of the fact that calling this a "set" is a bit silly, I shall forgo my usual rating of various aspects of the "set".

I have a large collection of minifig keychains although I've never used them for holding keys. I have two uses for them:

1)I buy multiples of hard to get figs (snowtrooper or the pink princess with fabric dress) and remove the keychain and pin so the figs can be used in MOCs. Or,

2)In the case of more common figs, I remove the keychain but leave the pin in the figs head. Put an ornament hook through the pin and you have a minifig Christmas decoration. Majisto might not make a good keychain, but it's fun to see him hanging from the tree.

I've had a number of LEGO keychains over the years, and honestly, they don't stand up to rubbing around in your pocket with keys and loose change. The printing wears off and legs/arms/hands get ripped off or broken.

That being said, I now simply lever the the pin out of the head on keychains and turn them into regular figs as best the design allows.

Majisto himself is reasonably cool. I had two or three as keychains, but they always wore out in about 6 months time.
